Case Study of Possible Effects of Cross-Ownership on Washington State Media

From Reclaim the Media, October 19, 2006:

Cities across Washington State will suffer if the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) eliminates or further relaxes key limits on media ownership, according to new research examining the impact of potential media mergers in Seattle, Spokane, and Yakima. The study, released by Reclaim the Media in conjunction with the national Media and Democracy Coalition, focuses on the potential impact of newspaper-broadcast "cross-ownership" mergers.

There are some interesting findings in this report, that should serve as a warning to the rest of the nation of what is at stake.
